Outrage of the day

Thanks to Powerline we are reminded that former PBS "newsman" Bill Moyers is a less-than-stellar journalist. If an apology to former Interior Secretary James Watt and retraction from the Minneapolis Star-Tribune is not immediately forthcoming, then Moyers cements his reputation as a partisan hack.

Tough questions vs. dishonesty

On today's "Meet the Press," Defense Secretary Don Rumsfeld didn't let critically-acclaimed journalist Tim Russert get away with a gross mischaracterization/video dowdifying of the infamous "armored humvees" question. MR. RUSSERT: Yeah, I understand. Some things that members of Congress has said. This is Susan Collins, a Republican--not a Democrat, Republican: "I think there are increasing […]

The elite media club

Some White House correspondents are apparently in a tizzy over the presence of Jeff Gannon of Talon News in the briefing room. Talon News is a conservative Web site, and Gannon's questions are biased -- the same as every other reporter's questions except in direction. White House reporters say Gannon has regularly attended daily press […]
